El Palomar

Inside Escondite

El Escondite means the Hideaway & this detached cottage is hidden away amidst olive trees, on the top of an embankment where the river once ran. It has beautiful views along the valley & to the southern mountains which catch the sunset in the evening. This 1 bedroom cottage has been built in traditional Alpujarran style & with its secluded, peaceful position & private spa is ideal for honeymoons & special holidays.
El Palomar means the Dovecote, but the doves have flown! This 2 bedroom cottage, also in the local style is light and spacious inside. It too has views of the southern mountains and is ideal for a relaxing holiday for couples or a family with its private pool.
The small town of Orgiva has plenty of shops and a busy Thursday morning market. It is in a broad green valley of fruit and olive trees, you can go horse riding, walking, bird watching, skiing or spend your time relaxing. The Alhambra in Granada is 1 hour away and the beaches can be reached in 35 min

Accessibility
You can park next to each of the cottages and apart from one step at the entrance all the accommodation is on the ground floor. I am sorry but the cottages have not been constructed for wheelchair users.

Outside
Escondite has a covered patio with views to the east & another looking south with sun loungers. There's a new spa/jacuzzi pool outside where you can relax and admire the view or gaze at the stars. It is situated in its own olive grove and a car can be parked next to the cottage.

Palomar has a large patio surrounded by olive and fruit trees, with views of the southern mountains. The private swimming pool has 2 sunbathing terraces. Your car can be parked outside the cottage.

Both cottages have their own separate grounds and patios with table, chairs and barbecue.

The pool for Palomar is 1.4m deep and approximately 9m x 5m at its largest. It is filtered and kept clean by the use of an ionizer and has an underwater seating area. There are 2 separate sunbathing terraces next to the pool with sun loungers and parasols and a shower. The pool is open all year but isn't heated.
The spa for Escondite is also available all year and is heated.

Coast/Beach

Guest comments
Excellent two weeks at El Palomar. Beautiful location - very restful. Casita very comfortable. Welcome pack - great idea. Thank you for hospitality and special thanks for fixing our car! Great being able to pick lemons for our G & Ts!
Great week, our third visit to El Palomar. As comfortable welcoming and relaxing as ever; thank you for your welcoming hospitality - change nothing, no TV etc!
What an amazing week! El Escondite is all we hoped for and more! It really is as lovely and secluded as promised in the 'blurb'. We will remember the spa pool with its beautiful setting: sitting in the warm bubbles under a blue sky or a full moon with clouds passing by.
Well we've been to Orgiva many times but it's our first time at El Escondite. It's probably the best equipped casita we've stayed in and the hot tub makes all the difference when it's cold outside! After a day's walking there is nothing better than jumping into that tub! (I'll tell all my friends).
